How do I find my Hive AI API Keys?

Log in to your Hive AI dashboard, select a project (e.g., a Visual or Text project), and navigate to the **Settings** or **API** section. Note that each project type requires its own unique API key.

What is the difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous moderation?

Synchronous moderation (`moderate_text`, `moderate_image`) returns results instantly and is best for real-time interactions. Asynchronous moderation (`moderate_video_async`) is used for larger files and requires polling the task status or using a callback.

Can this integration detect deepfakes or AI-generated voices?

Yes! Hive AI provides specialized models for detecting AI-generated content across text, images, video, and audio. Use the `detect_ai_generated_text` and `detect_ai_generated_image` tools for these checks.

Is the integration secure for sensitive content?

Absolutely. The integration uses official Hive AI Token authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials and analyzed content are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

Hive AI + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Hive AI MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully — if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL — Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
